There are a few scenarios with sequencing issues like the gig an Cyberpsycho involving Taki.

I might be seeing patterns where there aren't any, but does anyone else thing the gig "Oliver Branch" has a John Wick reference? If you question Sergei a bit, he tells V the reason he is in trouble with the Tyger Claws. He says he saw a man, normal-looking, "nothing breathtaking", walking a dog, but that it turns out he was in fact a hitman. When V asks if Sergei shot this man, Sergei says it was "worse, much worse" than shooting him. My theory - Sergei killed the man's dog and stole his car, delivering the car to a Tyger Claws chop shop, setting the hitman on a revenge mission against the Tyger Claws as a result, just as in John Wick. I know, it's not a concrete theory, but it's at least possible given what Sergei says. Also, Sergei said the hitman was "nothing breathtaking". Could this be a reference to the Keanu Reaves "breathtaking" meme? Maybe. I mean, there are plenty of other Keanu Reaves references throughout the game. Anyone got an input? I think it makes sense.

I have to wonder if the actual amount from vortex is speaking with the kilo implied. Would make Vortex stealing closer to a million Eds. The most annoy part of greed never pays (sorry if someone else mentioned this already) is it’s clear the Claws stole a Militech cache, which I would have hoped that a netrunner or techie V could use the skeleton key to open. (I believe the cache is behind a decent size Body check. And though it is a mod, I think that Bugbear would have made it into a romance option earlier on, hence her very non (just a) npc look. Same with the Us Cracks woman. Would have been a decent match for my male runner. Judy just works so well, especially (in my own opinion) to runner female v’s. Still, thanks for the great video!

In the quest a shrine defiled you can also enter into the building on the left side of the 2 guards by the main entrance. Yea you have to dispatch 1 person, but he is normally just standing there staring at a crate so he is easy to dispatch(with a place to dispose of said dispatching). Then there is a side window I think that doesn't take any checks. If it does, the alternative is you can easily double jump over the wall. Inside I believe if you wait long enough it will be only 1 in there, and you can dispatch them and easily place them into one of the many closets in that area.

Regina is the close second because she has a moral compass that at least points in the general direction of 'good'. The missions Wako offers are good in general, nothing terrible, I agree with your analysis for the most part. I wish we got more from Wakako Okada, just to hear more of her patronizing, but excellent dialogue. I think her complex character would hold up to more story. Really enjoy Japantown in general though - a few very cool places there.
